Shedding

marlas is cute, elevate, yours is just kinda freaky :wink: lol

So i have 2 pics of Pandora's cloudy eyes... i really hope i see her shed, this will be her first shed with me. i dont know her history very well, so i dont know if she's had nice healthy sheds before.

i have a question... is it normal for Pandora to be pretty p*ssed when i take her out?? i just wanted to check on her and see how she was doin, so i just picked her up for like 5 seconds and she got all mad and gave my arm a nice squeeze and flew back into her hide. i havent even seen her out of her little pot at all. and, i try to mist her to make things easier, and it looks like she gets all uncomfortable and curls up into a ball. i read i was supposed to mist her.. am i doin somethin wrong, or is she supposed to hate me while she sheds? :?

Its not necessary to mist unless your humidity is low. What is your humidity like? As far as her being pissed at ya .... :) .. its what happens when they are in shed. Some dont even like to be touched. Her vision is not all that great anyway, and when you throw in cloudy eyes she can hardly see at all. Its normal, dont sweat it. She'll be fine again when she sheds.

yeah my bp is a sweetheart but the second her eyes start to cloud up--don't even think about going in the aquarium with her. kinda like bp pms or something. it's just because they feel vulnerable since they can't see.

Thanks, when I got her she had only been at Petco for a day or two and that was only two or three weeks ago. So she could still be feeling the effects of the stress, right? She has eaten for me very very well. Every five days takes pre killed mice and has never refused it. When I took her out today I was very worried, she still has almost all of her shed stuck to her even on her head. What do I do? Also do you think that she will be ok? Coming from Petco and all? She seems to be in great health. I never handle her before my other. But they are right above each othe is that ok??

lol ok.. and my humidity is usually somewhere between 60-75, but since she's shedding, i boosted it up to about 75-85.
